Assassin's Creed for a New Era?

During the taping of Bonus Round, Pachter let slip that Ubisoft would be changing the time-frame of the unannounced-but-inevitable Assassin's Creed sequel from 1191 to "several hundred years in the future" or more specifically, "sometime in the 1700s." While the time change was presented by Pachter as fact, he went on to speculate that the French Revolution could be a potential setting

They need to change something. Doing the same things over and over is BOOOOOORING.

I enjoyed Assassins creed. It was one of my favourite games this gen.

I play a lot of games with random battles so I used to repetitive nature.

So it is set in the 1700 hundreds... could be interesting.

You are an assassin and a group of soldiers walk by and you hide in a dark ally and make a small noise. It gets the attention of a soldier and they investigate. They gets assassinated and you steal the uniform and rejoin the soldiers and use the uniform to sneak up on the target.

Or hide in a merchants cart until you get into town and escape into the alleyways.

I, too, loved Assassin's Creed and can't wait for the sequel. I think the plot allows them to take the setting almost anywhere they want. It would be cool if they took it somewhere completely different.

More variety for missions, better AI, different maps that you can interact with, PUT A SKIP BUTTON FOR THE CUTSCENES, and I would definitely purchase it

Couldn't agree more. The only things i can say for sure that they should do for the sequel. The A.I didn't really ramp up until the last 3 assassinations. Better variety in missions would be a huge welcome as well. But they need to keep the social commentary about the times in there as well. i think that might have been one of the most overlooked things about the side missions was the social commentary about the times back then.

I agree with you too arrrgh. People overlook quite abit about Assassins Creed.

wow I remembered when the game was 1st released the hate towards it on N4G was sickening...nice to see alot of ppl could look past the flaws and appreciate the game for what it attempted to do..

Im just really excited to see what become of Desmond...and how they can better the story and in what direction they take it in..

and better A.I...and more variety in missions and better battle system would be greatly appreciated...

I loved the first game and actually never tired of the repetition but I understand how some could. I would hope for more variation in missions though in the next one. The game was a welcome deviation from the norm. If the sequel occurs during the French Revolution I'd say it'd revolve around the church and its failed attempts to keep power from transferring to the state. Like AC the possibilities are endless for the timeframe.

Jade Raymond will advertise this like free pancakes in the morning!

I liked the first one but i agree that it got boring and i became godlike with the dodge then one hit kill attack. I wish they added random quests that always pop out. Heck, even add money and buying items would be nice.

I did like killing that stupid lady that keeps on begging you for food or money since she gets in the way and will throw a rock at you if you climb a building.

I got tempted t assassinate her a few times.... Once i did though because she bumped into me while trying to do one of those flag speed runs. I was PISSED. I usually ended up pounding those retarded dudes into oblivion though.

Assassin's Creed one of the greatest storylines of all time. I loved the ending as well. People are used to getting what they want but AC had an ending that is yes a cliffhanger but leaves a ton of room for your imagination. Now would we still be remembering AC right now if they had given us a cotton candy conclusion? No, the ending was awesome no matter what anyone says.

2.4 - I agree
Maybe they'll make it a costume. Or maybe some how because of the peaces of Edin Altair will be the main character because he now lives forever. Come on the box art had Altair written all over it, he should definitively return with his original outfit or it won't be a proper sequel. Altair was Assassin's Creed and it was awesome.

Wasnt the timeframe actually like 2050 or something? I mean using a computer simulation that displays a few hundred years later still doesnt make the game actually take place in that era.

We know the AC game is Sci-Fi based, so setting the game anytime before the present is acceptable. However, I could've sworn that I heard something about you controlling Desmond in AC2, but with Altair's abilities since Desmond was able to sync 100% and gain Eagle Vision.

Food for thought.
Shut this user up Let user speak
Dark General - 397 days 12 hours ago

See that's the thing i don't think he's synced %100 yet. I think it'll be a gradual thing and by the time the (inevitable) 3rd game in the series comes out then you'll be able to play as desmond himself. My guess is that abstergo (or however you spell it) will try to find the remaining missing pieces by further following Desmonds lineage. Some other big plot points will unfold etc leading up to increased syncing with his past relatives.

You guys do remember that he KNEW he came from the assassins but he didn't want to follow how they lived. Which is why he broke free and lived by himself in the beginning. I think things that's happening will only inspire him to maybe try to change things whats happening around him. Information control etc.

the first AC was based around 2012, keep in mind the timeline in the game takes a turn from our own. its like the FMA series what if this happened. ya know. the myans said the world would end *the 13th world i think*. well the thing is that he needs to stop these people from collecting the artifacts. if they get a hold of the one altiar "master" had they could control poeple. they also have a satilite system going up right on the date of the myan calander ending*give or take a day or two*. so they plan to use the artifact to brainwash the people of the world and have complete control. a perfect sociaty.

I can bet there will be more gameplay with Desmond and he'll race to find and catch the orb. I live in Montreal. wouldn't be surprised if we climbed the (ho my bad concept but good looking dust magnet) olympic stadium.

On a side note: Who seriously hired a French architect to build the stadium when he doesn't know a thing about winter?!?!?

AC had so much potential, environments were good, story was mint, moves and combat were pretty cool. My biggest gripe was the whole game revolved around like 3 or 4 'mini' missions which was pretty unforgivable.

They created a very cool world and character, but they need to put a lot more work into the actual game for AC2.

12 - Loved Assassins Creed
But it was annoying when those beggars decided it would be funny to push you with all of their retard strength and if you did anything back the guards were after you and you had to do no less than kill every guard in the area or run half way across the city... Then there were the other beggars that followed you saying please a coin or something for ages til you broke their face... Beggars in general were very annoying since they only begged to/shoved at you

13.1 - Agreed
I was excited till I actually played the game. Then I was bored to tears. The concepts were amazing and I thought the game was really well made except for the fun factor. It just got really old. I remember thinking to myself in the early stages of my rental that this was probably all that the game was EVER gonna be like. It ended up like playing Dynasty Warriors except not nearly as bad. Same sh|t over and over and over and over and over again.

True. I also think the mixing of modern and past storyline wasn't well implemented. And my god, there was some horrible dialog writting at certain points in the game. It felt ridiculous at many points. I felt like I was beying treated like a retard (no offense).
